Abstract: When washing the inside of a reactor vessel which is used repeatedly, a rough suction is performed before suctioning with a washing tip; however, unwanted washing liquid may remain that may affect analysis results. The present invention provides an automatic analysis device for analyzing a sample using light, in which the automatic analysis device is characterized in that: a washing mechanism comprises a washing liquid supply nozzle that supplies washing liquid to a reactor vessel after analysis, a washing liquid suction nozzle that suctions the supplied washing liquid, a washing tip provided to the bottom end of the washing liquid suction nozzle, and a rough suction nozzle that suctions, in advance, a liquid within the reactor vessel before suctioning with the washing tip; and after the rough suction, liquid is caused to remain so that the bottom surface of the reactor vessel is not exposed.

Abstract: Embodiments provide an unmanned aerial vehicle comprising a receiver and a position determiner. The receiver is configured to receive two periodic wideband signals transmitted from two spaced apart base stations of a navigation system for unmanned aerial vehicles, wherein the two periodic wideband signals are time-synchronized. The position determiner is configured to determine a position of the unmanned aerial vehicle relative to the two base stations based on a difference between reception times of the two periodic wideband signals and based on reception intensities of the two periodic wideband signals.
